Cool stuff. The readme is pretty lengthy so it was a little hard to identify what is the core problem this tool is aiming to solve and how is it tackling it differently than the present solutions.

A classic issue of AI generated READMEs. Never to the point, always repetitive and verbose

It genuinely never ocurred to me that you use emacs somewhere outside the terminal.
mimischi · 2 months ago
Using it in GUI mode, you’ll end up using the terminal inside Emacs!

I've spent 2 month trying out emacs and I feel like I sort of scratched the surface. It's like the deeper you look the more you realize how much more there is
mimischi · 2 months ago
My biggest revelation was when I realized how to use Emacs to learn about Emacs. Knowing where to look up function, variable definitions etc was an eye opener in my understanding of how things work and are piped together

Are backups really necessary? I have always regarded texts (over Signal or SMS) as ephemeral. No one is or should be sending valuable information over Signal, and if you happen to receive something you want to keep, you can always do so manually.
mimischi · 3 months ago
Why do you think our should not? Sincerely asking.

And while I’m here, if you’re implying that Signal is Blut trustworthy, you should step out of the HN bubble and have a look around what everyone and their dog shares through less secure means

In like Apple Notes or what do you store the checklists in?
mimischi · 4 months ago
I don’t think there’s a correct answer here. Whatever floats your boat. Do you want to scribble things by hand into a physical notebook? Great! Want to use Notepad on Windows for .txt? Or create a .docx using Word?

Don’t follow trends and seek the “next best way to hack your productivity”. Most of those things are snake oil and a waste of time. Just use whatever you have available and build a process yourself. That’s what most people have done that are successful in applying this. They just use the tool they are comfortable with, and don’t over engineer for the sake of it

React is the defacto standard of web development for a reason. That's not the reason you can't browse the web with JS (it would be Angular if it wasn't React or others). And just because you use React, doesn't mean Meta can track you.
mimischi · 6 months ago
Their point was that (i) React becoming the defacto standard played into the hands of Meta, who are interested in tracking people. (ii) Tracking is made easier by running arbitrary JavaScript in the browser. And (iii) before SPAs were big (pre-React), more people used to completely disable JS in their browser.

Not saying I buy this theory. Just trying to explain what I think they were alluding to, as I had the impression you missed it and went in a different direction.

mimischi commented on Emacs dired-mode as a file manager   lynn.sh/guix-emacs-file-m... · Posted by u/todsacerdoti
sixtyj · 7 months ago
So it is similar to Total Commander, but in editor. Or Double Commander…
mimischi · 7 months ago
Just that it’s all done from the comfort of the editor one knows and loves, with the same key binding and semantics that at there, whether you edit files in fired, write code, a commit message or an email.

Not to get too deep into this, but there’s this warm fuzzy feeling of not having to use /yet another different app/ that’s ever so slightly different to the optimal workflow you have otherwise

mimischi commented on Bus stops here: Shanghai lets riders design their own routes   sixthtone.com/news/101707... · Posted by u/anigbrowl
mattlondon · 7 months ago
What does that mean? The links doesn't help explain it much?

In the UK/London there are some bus routes where you just stick your arm out and the bus will stop to get you where you stand ("hail and ride") and equally you can just ring a bell when onboard and the driver stops as soon as there is somewhere convenient to let you off. The route is fixed though.

Is it that sort of thing?

mimischi · 7 months ago
What routes are those? I thought you can only be picked up/dropped off at designated stops

Would an OpenStreetMap integration be sufficient to replace this functionality?
mimischi · 8 months ago
Not OP, but I heavily rely on Google Maps reviews. Haven’t found another platform that replaces them.
